Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, engraving by Lazarus Gottlieb Sichling after a lithograph by Julius Ludwig Sebbers, c. 1828; in the Universitätsbibliothek Leipzig, Germany.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel received his early education in his birthplace of Stuttgart. Starting at age three, he attended grammar schools, and from the age of six or seven, he studied at the Gymnasium Illustre, an academic preparatory school, where he remained until he was 18. During his youth, he also learned the elements of Latin from his mother.12
Following his time in Stuttgart, Hegel attended the University of Tübingen from 1788 to 1793. There, he studied philosophy, theology, and classics, earning his M.A. degree in 1790.12
